第106章 THE LAMENTABLE TRAGEDY OF LOCRINE(106)

TREMELIO.

It is not the frowns of a shepherd that Tremelio fears.

Therefore, account it accomplished, what I take in hand.

SEGASTO.

Thanks, good Tremelio, and assure they self, What I promise that will I perform.

TREMELIO.

Thanks, my good Lord, and in good time see where He cometh: stand by a while, and you shall see Me put in practise your intended drifts.

Have at thee, swain, if that I hit thee right.

[Enter Mucedorus.]

MUCEDORUS.

Viled coward, so without cause to strike a man.

Turn, coward, turn; now strike and do thy worst.

[Mucedorus killeth him.]

SEGASTO.

Hold, shepherd, hold; spare him, kill him not!

Accursed villain, tell me, what hast thou done?

Ah, Tremelio, trusty Tremelio!

I sorrow for thy death, and since that thou, Living, didst prove faithful to Segasto, So Segasto now, living, shall honour The dead corpse of Tremelio with revenge.

Bloodthirsty villain, Born and bred to merciless murther, Tell me, how durst thou be so bold at once To lay thy hands upon the least of mine?

Assure thy self, Thou shalt be used according to the law.

MUCEDORUS.

Segasto, cease, these threats are needless.

Accuse not me of murther, that have done Nothing but in mine own defence.

SEGASTO.
